‘Tis the season of gift-giving. But instead of using traditional paper wrapping paper (some of which, to be fair, can be recycled) why not consider these other environmentally-friendly options?

Fabric Wrapping “Paper”

Ditch the one-use wrapping paper and opt for this (surprisingly easy) fabric alternative to wrapping gifts! You can use whatever festive fabric you have laying around and the best part is – you can fold it up and reuse it again for next year! The House That Lars Built has a great article on how to do this.
